"I hosted a house concert for RIc Gillman in August 2018 to a packed, entranced living room full of listeners. He wove a spell with his skillful playing, stories and songs. From that two more house concerts wait in the wings."

"If you think this cat can fingerpick the six string, wait till you hear him on the Twelve! But either way, he leaves that git-fiddle smokin'!"

"Professional, engaging and easy to work with, I have had the pleasure providing production services for his larger venues in the Midwest. We are pleased to have him as an endorsed performer with our company."

"We are really grateful that you just happened to be playing at the Art Bar the first day of our vacation on the Island. It was a great afternoon, could have listened (and watched your fingers) for the rest of the day. You have been blessed my friend, you are an incredible musician. ﻿

And the topper of the whole afternoon was when you ended your last set with What a Wonderful World. Kerri & I were on the Island for our annual vacation to celebrate our wedding anniversary, 6 years this year. What a Wonderful World was our wedding song. When you played it, it choked both of us up. You had no idea, but it meant the world to us. Good Lord does work in incredible, wonderful ways! Thank you."

"We met Ric this summer in early August on Madeline Island at the Bell Street Gallery. He made the highlight of our summer vacation. I met Ric at the gallery earlier in the week and as a rude father, I asked he would ever share the stage with an up and coming artist with the ukulele—my daughter Tatum. Without doubt he agreed without even hearing her play. As did the owner of the gallery agree to this concept. Ric—you were so welcoming to our daughter Tatum and we cannot thank you enough. I admire your talents greatly which is why we wanted to come back and hear you again—along with Tatum. What a special night it was, besides the massive storm that blew in and cut it short—but a memory for her and our entire family that we will never forget. I have visited your website and listened to your music—you are so talented and such a valuable treasure to Madeline Island and the Bell Street Gallery.﻿

We wish you the best and hope to someday cross paths again. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Enjoy."
